YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, Mont. – The Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office is reporting a rise in illegal dumping incidents and is urging the community to help identify those responsible.

On May 29, 2025, a significant dumping incident occurred on Popelka Road and Ballard Ivie Road, west of Acton. According to Sheriff Mike Linder, "It appears a trailer was probably used, but one load was tied to a tree along the road and the suspects drove out from under it."

Tracks and evidence suggest the suspects traveled from Billings via Molt Road, then to Popelka Road, north to Ballard Ivie Road, and west to Buffalo Trail.

The Sheriff's Office is asking anyone who recognizes the attached pictures or has information about this or other illegal dumping activities to call 406-256-2929.
